with the untreated samples, which can be attributed to the massive chimbs and holes on the surface of the MAO coating. In addition, the AZ91 alloy which has experienced a thermal oxidation at 200
C for 25 h is also been investigated in the viewpoint of wear resistance by a ball on disc wear testing unit against a diamond surface (Majumdar,
Bhattacharyya, Biswas, & Manna, 2008). It is relevant that in the thermally oxidized
AZ91 alloy, both the magnitude and rate of wear are reduced signicantly compared with the as-received AZ91 alloy. The improved wear resistance in the thermally oxidized AZ91 alloy is mainly the result of an increased surface hardness because of the presence of oxide scale. Zou et al. (2011) have the modied AZ91 alloy by depositing a DLC coating, and they studied the tribological behavior of uncoated and coated AZ91 alloys using a ball-on-disk tribotester. Compared with the uncoated AZ91 alloy, the Mg alloy coated with a DLC coating exhibited a lower friction coef­cient and a narrow, shallow wear track. The wear resistance of the AZ91 Mg alloy can be improved signicantly by adding a layer of DLC protective lm, which is a result of its high hardness and low friction coefcient. To improve the poor wear resis­tance of Mg alloys, currently many surface treatment techniques have been developed with the intent of generating a protective hard coating, such as electroplating, chemical plating, anodic oxidation, chemical conversion coatings, physical vapor deposition, laser surface treatment, and so on (Zhang et al., 2007).
8.2.3 Anticorrosive behavior
When applying a surface-treating technology to Mg and its alloys, the primary concern about the coatings is whether they can maintain their corrosion resistance during degradation. Numerous corrosion studies have been carried out using immersion tests and electrochemical measurements. Changes in morphology and phase composition,

weight loss, pH value, hydrogen evolution volume, and released ion concentrations during immersion are critical features for evaluating the anticorrosive behavior of surface-modied Mg alloys. For example, the coatings fail when Mg(OH)
2
X-ray diffraction peaks appear. However, for electrochemical measurements, corrosion protection in the presence of the coatings is usually determined on the basis of the corrosion current density I

(Gu et al., 2009; Shi, Qi, Chen, & Shi, 2011; Zhang, Zhang, & Wei, 2009), Hanks solution (Geng, Tan, Jin, Yang, & Yang, 2009; Hu et al., 2011), and Dulbeccos Modi ­ed Eagles Medium without 10% fetal bovine serum (Roy et al., 2011; Singh, Roy,
Lee, & Kumta, 2011), are often used for corrosion tests. Because of the differences in
composition, concentration, and volume of these solutions, and the test time and the parameters used during tests, comparisons among results are very difcult to make. Overall, all coatings have been found to reduce the corrosion rate to a certain extent, as expected. For example, Gu et al. (2009) studied the biocorrosive behavior of an alkaline heat-treated Mg-Ca alloy. The immersion test and the electrochemical test were both carried out in SBF at 37
C. During the rst 200 hours of immersion, the pH values of the solutions corresponding to the heat-treated samples increased more slowly with immersion time than the untreated samples. Meanwhile, the hydrogen evolution volumes of the heat-treated samples were much less smaller than that of the untreated samples. Results of the electrochemical test showed that the corrosion current densities of heat-treated samples were approximately one order of magnitude less than those that of the untreated samples at the same potential range, meaning, an improved anti-corrosion property by alkaline heat treatment was noted. Table 8.2 pre­sents polarization measurements for several coated Mg substrates tested under different conditions, as reported in the literature. When comparing the electrochemical parameters with those of the bare counterparts, the corrosion potentials of surface­modied Mg alloys were shifted toward the positive potential, whereas the corrosion densities were decreased to varying degrees, demonstrating better corrosion resistance.
8.2.4 Biocompatibility
A material with good biocompatibility should induce a minimal level of cytotoxicity, hemolysis, blood coagulation, and inammation, and should have no risk of inducing mutagenic or carcinogenic reactions. Biological assessment items are usually divided into three steps: step 1 is performed at the cellular level, step 2 is performed in small animals such as rats and hamsters, along with step 3, a nal test that is also called the application test. Safety and efcacy are estimated simultaneously in large animals at this stage, such as monkeys and dogs.
8.2.4.1 Cellular biocompatibility
A cytotoxicity test, which belongs to early testing, is an economical method, with the advantages of a relatively simple testing method, high replicability, accurate result, and large-scale assessment as a result of standardization. For the cytotoxicity assessment, various cell lines are used in accordance with the targe t application. Marrow cells and osteoblastlike cells are adopted commonly for the evaluation of bone implant

materials, whereas the evaluation of materials used within blood vessels, endothelial cells and human smooth muscle cells are mostly used. Direct and indirect contact as­says are the two major methods and are divided by culturing cells on the samples or in their extracts. After incubation for a prescribed period, a microscopy and/or a micro­plate reader are usually used to characterize cell morphology and viability/cytotox­icity. For instance, the cytotoxicity of the HA-coated Mg-4Zn-1Ca-0.6Zr alloy has been evaluated using an indirect assay (Guan et al., 2012). No signicant difference in broblast morphology was observed between the HA-coated and the uncoated sam­ple groups. However, the relative growth rate calculated based on MTT assay results demonstrated that the HA-coated samples had a slightly greater relative growth rate than the uncoated samples. Li, Gao, & Wang (2004) examined the cytotoxicity of alka­line heat-treated Mg using a direct method. Through microscopic observation, marrow cells in contact with alkali and heat-treated samples gave the evidence of cell morphology similar to that of bare Mg. No signs of cellular lysis were observed and no inhibitory effects on cell growth were detected as a result of the presence of Mg samples. In addition, the average cell numbers in the culture media exposed to heat­treated samples were greater than that of negative controls, suggesting an improved biocompatibility after surface modication. The cytocompatibility study to investigate the interactions between Mg and tissue cells is at a preliminary stage. Because Mg and its alloys are intended to be used as hard tissue substitutes and stent materials, complete in vitro biocompatibility studies, including hemocompatibility, cytotoxicity tests, and antibacterial effect, are required.
8.2.4.2 Hemocompatibility
Assessment of blood compatibility is essential when testing anticorrosion and surface biocompatibility properties of implant biomaterials. To determine the blood compati­bility of implant materials, hemolysis and blood coagulation assay are the most commonly used methods. Hemolysis is the breakage or destruction of red corpuscles, which causes hemoglobin to be released into the surrounding medium. Interactions of red blood cells with biomater ials or with extracts of biomaterials in solution can cause hemolysis. Normally, a hemolytic ratio that is less than 5% is required for excellent blood compatibility (American Society for Testing and Materials, 2000). Samples or their extracts are cultured together with blood for 60 min and are then centrifuged. The hemolytic ratio is calculated on the basis of the optical density of the supernatant solution. Table 8.3 illustrates hemolytic ratios of modied Mg and several of its alloys, as reported in the literature. It shows that, most of the surface modication technolo­gies provide enhanced antihemolysis. This enhanced blood compatibility of modied Mg alloy samples can be attributed to the reduced Mg lower pH value because of the improved corrosion resistance (Lu, Cao, Liu, Xu, &
Wu, 2011). The in vitro blood coagulation times of an MAO-PLLA-modied
WE42 Mg alloy were measured using an automated blood coagulation analyzer (Lu
et al., 2011). The prothrombin times of the WE42 group, the WE42-MAO group,
and the WE42-MAO/PLLA group were the same as those of the control group. These results suggest that WE42 and MAO/PLLA lm do not interfere with the extrinsic

8.2.4.3 Antibacterial effect
Bare magnesium metal is reported to present an antibacterial effect (Robinson, Grifth,
Shechtman, Evans, & Conzemius, 2010), and the mecha nism appears to be alkaline pH
during its degradation in bacterial solution. This event is meaningful in clinical elds because the infections associated with surgical implants are currently a serious issue.
Ren, Lin, Tan, and Yang (2011) have studied comparatively the antibacterial behaviors
of Mg-based metals with different coatings. The tests were conducted by coculturing bacterial and other specimens for a prescribed period. The antibacterial rate was deter­mined based on the number of bacterial colonies. Compared with bare metals, Mg with a porous Si-containing coating by MAO still maintains its antibacterial ability with a mild increase in pH value. However, pure Mg and the AZ31 alloy with uoride­containing and Si-containing coatings by chemical conversion, respectively, lost their antibacterial ability, with nearly no change in pH, as a result of the much more dense coatings on the surfaces. These results indicate that antibacterial ability can be inu­enced by surface characteristics after surface modication.
8.2.4.4 Biocompatibility assessment in vivo
For biomedical applications, any protective coating on Mg should be nontoxic and should have an improved bioactivity. Animal studies, which belong to the late stage, are used to assess biocompatibility and degradation of implant materials. Samples are implanted into defective tissue in an animal, and the healing process is monitored by X-ray radiography until the animal is euthanized. Then, microcomputed tomography and histological observation are used to visualize the corrosion morphology and to quantify the in vivo corrosion rate and bone formation. Jo et al. (2011) studied in vivo degradation behavior of HA-MgF model. In contrast to bare Mg, HA-MgF shape because of reduced Mg corrosion, and a larger boneeimplant contact area was observed. Furthermore, a greater boneeimplant contact ratio was measured based on the histological images, thus conrming the positive effects of the HA-MgF coating with regard to the bioactivity of the Mg implant. Wong et al. (2010) produced biodegradable polymer coatings on the AZ91 alloy. Their in vivo study indicated that polymer-coated samples had greater volumes of new bone compared with uncoated samples, as determined by microcomputed tomography, although histological analysis indicated no inammation, necrosis, or hydrogen gas accumulation on either of the samples during degradation, which proves their biocompatibility. Besides, the mea­surement of serum Mg levels after implantation showed no signicant differences

between uncoated and coated samples, most likely as a result of homeostatic regulation by the kidney. Taking these data together, polymer-coated samples reduce the rate of Mg ion release and allow for homeostatic maintenance of physiological Mg levels. More important, the data indicate that, after the polymer-coating is degraded, leaving behind the uncoated implant, the release of Mg ions from the uncoated implant does not induce toxic levels of Mg. However, additional long-term, in vivo studies, lasting longer than the complete degradation of the implant, are needed for verication.
8.3 Future trends
Surface modication is regarded as one of the effective methods for controlling the corrosive behavior of Mg and its alloys. An appropriate surface-treating technique should be chosen on the basis of many factors, including the substrate material, coating component design and geometry, cost, and, most important, the end application. Afterward, a full-scale characterization of Mg and its alloys is demanded to assess the potential for clinical use.
In this chapter, types of surface modication methods conducted on different Mg­based materials were reviewed. It was noted that the critical factors of modied Mg materials to be used as implant materials are assessed in terms of coating morphology, surface chemistry, corrosion rate, adhesion between the coating and the substrate, and biocompatibility, along with the correlation between surface properties and resulting performance. For an ideal surface treatment technology, a combination of strong corro­sion resistance during tissue healing and an active biological response should be pro­vided to the Mg alloy substrate. In previous publications, most studies have set anticorrosion behavior as a concern, with only one or two surface properties evaluated, omitting the examination of the whole range of functionalities and coating properties.
Optimum characteristics of a protective coating change with the target applica­tion. For example, materials with a rough coating are not appropriate for stent appli­cations because blood coagulation is ea sil y caused by the more exposed area. For hard tissue repair, a rough surface is preferred because it is benecial to the adhesion between osteoblasts and the implant. To date, accurate criteria are still lacking for determining the recommended range of a certain property for a specific field appli­cation. The various characterization methods and condit ions used in previous work make exact comparisons between different surface-modied Mg materials difcult. For this reason, the development of appropriate and unied methods to study biocompatibility and degradation processes in detail and in the long term remains an important area of research.
8.4 Sources of additional information and advice
Surface modication of biomedical Mg and its alloys is being researched at an expo­nentially increasing rate. In the scientic literature, there are many publications of spe­cic, relevant research work that covers different surface modication technologies and the resulting performance of modied Mg alloys. Several reviews concerning
278 Surface Modication of Magnesium and its Alloys for Biomedical Applications
this work have been undertaken and published. Yangs review (2011), Surface Mod­ications of Magnesium Alloys for Biomedical Applications,provides a general overview of the current research and development status of surface modication tech­nologies of Mg alloys for biomedical materials research, and the advantages and dis­advantages of the different methods and with regard to the most promising method for Mg alloys are also discussed. The application and use of modi ed Mg alloys, surface chemistry, corrosion rate, coating morphology, and cell adhesioncommon issues are discussed in another review: Biomedical Coatings on Magnesium Alloys: A Re­view(Hornberger et al., 2012).
Most of the publications are the results of various research groups and organiza­tions, such as Peking University (http://lbmd.coe.pku.edu.cn/), the Institute of Metal Research (http://www.imr.cas.cn), the GKSS Materials Research Center (http://www.hzg.de/institute/materials_research/index.html.en), the McGowan Insti­tute for Regenerative Medicine (http://www.mirm.pitt.edu), and the Institute of Mate­rials Science (http://www.ims.uconn.edu ). In addition, there are several conference series devoted to biomaterials, and useful information is available from the proceed­ings of these conferences. The World Biomaterials Congress and the Symposium on Biodegradable Metals for Biomedical applications have been in place for a number of years, and a signicant amount of scientic information regarding surface modi ­cation of biomedical Mg and its alloys is available in the proceedings of the conferences.
